I was heartbroken when I found out some of the stories were "embellished". Depending on who you ask, some say it was cuz Alex was pressed for money and needed it to sell & other people say Malcom cised the stories to drive home his main points.

Either way it's a must read. Also check out Blood Bros, it chronicles the relationship of Ali & Malcom up them beefing because of the NOI.

I hate these newer books on Malcom that emasculate him & allege that he was gay for pay.

The Manning Marable version caught flac for the talcum powder story but there were also some gems in there that weren't included the Alex Haley edition. In retribution for a brother that had got killed by LAPD at a mosque out there Malcolm had shooters, photos of the pigs, and they were going to make them take that dirt nap on some Nat Turner shyt until they got told to stand down :mjpls:

Congratulations friend. This, native son, invisible man, and things fall apart are required reading in my opinion for any and all black men. Please don't just read this book, cherish it like a dear friend.
Post amazon links. I'll cop them.

Also copped the new Jim crow!
